Fortunately, that's _not_ going to happen here, because the rant in
question just is out of touch with Devuan and with the realities of
maintaining a distribution.

I see now that Centurion-Dan posted this to
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=13190#p13190, where his full
comments can be read.

It's a tribute to the high quality and dedication of Devuan Project's
contributors that so much useful and creative material ends up on its
Web forum. I'll confess that I consider this so vanishingly rare that
until this past evening I'd not plowed through Eric's drive-by comments
much, and hasn't read others' follow-on comments there at all.

Hear, hear.
